Heartfelt Tribute to Panikos Irodotou by Akamas Municipality

In a moving ceremony in Peyeia, the Akamas Municipality honored Panikos Irodotou for his long-standing contribution to the local community, Cyprus, and the Church. The event took place in the presence of the Archbishop of Cyprus, Georgios, who praised the honoree's contribution and highlighted his special relationship with the Church. Mr. Irodotou has been honored by the Ecumenical Patriarchate with the highest lay title, the Cross of the Archon of Order, and is the only Cypriot to hold this title while residing in Cyprus. During the ceremony, the Church of Cyprus presented Mr. Irodotou with a copy of an icon he had donated to the Cathedral of Nicosia. The Mayor of Akamas presented the honoree's biography with emotion, mentioning his origins, childhood, business activities in Congo and Cyprus, and his devotion to the Church.
